Their creation can
be of any medium: paper – such as books, comics, posters: digital – from slide
presentations, e books, blogs, e-posters, web pages, and social media, to animation
film, and video games: live – like a performance or an event; or transmedia – where
the story is narrated using ―multiple delivery channels‖ by means of a combination
of media platforms, for instance, books, comics, magazine, film, web series, and video
game mediums all working as part of the same story (O‘Brien, 2017)
...

Glee is an example of a transmedia narrative in which the audience follows the
characters and situations across media, but more often, its transmedia strategies
focus on the transmedia performance, with the songs moving though YouTube,
iTunes, live performances, and so on, which the audience reads ageist each other to
make sense of the larger Glee phenomenon
...
In other words, you recontextualize (or place in a different context) the materials you have collected from
various sites to serve your own purpose of presenting them in a multimodal text in a
multimodal text in a classroom setting, and there is nothing anomalous about this
...

Plagiarism is the act of stealing and passing off as you own the ideas, words,
or any other intellectual property produced by another person
...


Production of Multimodal Texts
Preparing multimodal texts in a classroom provides for new practices of
reading, producing, and disseminating texts (Jewit, 2005)
...

To create a digital animation, for example, which is a complex-meaning design
process, you are required to do a critical arrangement of a combination of “modes”
(such as image, movement, sound, spatial design, gesture, and language)

The Art of Making PowerPoint Presentation
PowerPoint presentations are so common that lecturers and reporters use
them all the time
...
How may you do this? There are only three things that you need to do
before starting to your Power Point presentation
...
Determine your goal
...

Ask yourself what opinion or feeling of the audience you want to change

”
This is now about your audience and your planting an idea into their
heads
...
Make them understand how they can benefit
from the idea, and lead them to believe in what you say, not in what you
want
...

...

For the audience to reach the place where you want them to go – to
embrace your idea – go straight to the 1st point, 2nd point, 3rd point to
the point where you want them to go and embrace it
...

...
Allot 2
to 3 minutes per slide (for example, a 30-minute talk may utilize 10-15 slides)
...
Zoom-in your introduction; zoom-out
your closure
...
Have only one message per slide to allow the audience to understand it more
...
Enhance your presentation material by having just one
short text and/or one image on a slide
...
Pay attention to size
...

...
Contrast controls your focus, so use a builtin functionality on the PowerPoint that dims or darkens the rest of the items
and highlights only the item on the list that is being discussed, once at a time
...
Change the bright white background to a dark one, too, so the focus is on
the text alone
...
Limit the number of objects/items per slide
...
You
can have less than six but no more
...
The number
of slides for one PowerPoint presentation is never the problem
...
If the number of slides is limited,
the result is counterproductive – jamming too many objects/items per slide
...
Do not make a mess of it by getting your audience bored
and putting them to sleep
